Hi! Great website! I’m curious about some of the mods you performed on your Sportsmobile, in particular ” 2″ spacer lift up front, Add a leaf to the rear + air bags.” Can you comment on the reason for these changes? Thanks!

These were added on by the previous owner, primarily for off-road clearance. Our van has a low hanging propane tank and gray water tank, but the spacer – add a leaf combination gives us some peace of mind. The air bags were added for towing, but can level out the height of the van. I would not recommend the lift as it alters the geometry of the suspension significantly. The air bags also reduce rear axle articulation.

If I were to do it, I would have just trimmed/rolled the fenders and got larger tires. With rolled fenders, the Dodge B series vans should be able to clear 31-31.5 inch tires.
